  • Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Andalucia, Spain
    Jun 27 2025

    An exclusive, private club in one of Spain’s most upmarket resorts - but a small number of visitors are allowed to play at Las Brisas, especially in summer.

    So you can follow in the footsteps of Sean Connery, who used to be a member, and top footballers, who still are.

    It was designed by Robert Trent Jones and updated by Kyle Phillips - who tells us about the changes he made.

  • Kingsbarns, Fife, Scotland
    Jun 22 2025

    Opened in 2000, Kingsbarns has quickly established itself as a course on a par with some of the greatest links courses in Scotland. Every year, it jointly hosts the Alfred Dunhill Pro-Am event alongside The Old Course at St Andrews and Carnoustie.

    It's now a must-play destination for thousands of visitng golfers, so you might find the pace of play a little frustrating…but just relax and enjoy the spectacular views.

    And what better way to prepare for your round than to listen to architect Kyle Phillips talking to The Golf Pilgrim about the course he built. And if you stick around to the end, you'll hear from a mystery special guest - an international sports star who plays Kingsbarns regularly!

  • Dumbarnie Links, Fife, Scotland
    Jun 17 2025

    Only five years old, but Dumbarnie Links blends seamlessly into the Fife coastline and has already made it into the top 50 courses in GB & Ireland.

    It's a pay-and-play course so visitors are treated as members for the day, with outstanding service from the moment you arrive.

    Dumbarnie was designed by Clive Clark, and we're delighted to have the former Ryder Cup player and BBC commentator join us on the podcast to talk about his course, along with General Manager David Scott who's captain of the PGA and has just been appointed as the R&A's Honorary Professional.

  • Lundin, Fife, Scotland
    Jun 12 2025

    If the bunkers don't get you at Lundin, the burns surely will.

    Lundin is in the St Andrews belt and its views, history and quirky holes make it a worthy destination for those wanting more Fife golf during their pilgrimage to the Old Course.

    But good course management is essential for a good score.

  • The Golf House, Elie, Fife, Scotland
    Jun 7 2025

    What should make you more nervous on the 1st tee at Elie?

    A blind tee shot in front of a busy clubhouse terrace, or the fact that a periscope from a decommissioned Royal Navy Submarine is used to see if the fairway ahead is clear?

    The Golf House, Elie is celebrating its 150th anniversary but golf on this site goes back much further.

    It combines its wonderful history with some fantastic seaside holes.

  • Kilmarnock Barassie, Ayrshire, Scotland
    Jun 2 2025

    Golfer's tip. Don't set your Sat Nav for Kilmarnock! Golfers from the inland town moved their club eight miles to Barassie Beach on the Ayrshire coast a century ago, but retained its name.

    Neil takes on a member in a matchplay contest. Could he defend a five shot lead with so many bunkers lying in wait?

  • Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, England
    May 28 2025

    Sutton Coldfield, just a few miles from the centre of Birmingham has soared up the rankings after a concerted attempt to go back to its roots.

    It was designed by Dr Alister Mackenzie, but had gradually lost its heathland feel because trees had grown and the fairways had narrowed.

    The course manager and the club pro explain the changes that have been made in the last decade to make it a course which is still a challenge, but more playable for average golfers.

  • Trump International, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
    May 23 2025

    Do you care who owns the golf course you’re playing? Probably not.

    But you can’t ignore Donald Trump now he’s back in the White House, and you can’t ignore his name on the courses he owns. So if you don’t like the man, can you still enjoy playing Trump International in Aberdeen?

    There’s no doubt it’s a great course - it’s in the World’s Top 100. But only one of our presenters chose to play it….
